Tete [Limited Edition]

[Machine Translation] The 2nd single of Akio Kondo! The theme of the song is "hand", which expresses the desire to grasp something with both hands, instead of grasping different things with the left and right hands. The lyrics of the song are beautifully linked to the characters' hand in hand as they walk hand in hand toward the same dream. The song is a profound up-tune that expresses the various intentions of the "wish" of holding hands, the "promise" of a "hand" linked by fingertips, and the Japanese melody influenced by Showa-era songs, as well as the piano and edgy guitar sound with Latin spice. The c/w "Kana", which means the end of a conversation, is a love song depicting "happiness" of sharing loneliness. Both songs were produced by Ryo Eguchi, who has worked with Ikimono-gakari and Porno Graffitti. The limited first pressing includes a remix of "Tete" on M-3. The jacket was drawn by "Space Brothers" and comes with a clear sheet.

近藤晃央の2ndシングル!! "左右"の手で別々のものを掴むのではなく、"両手"で1つのものを掴みたいという想いを込めた「手」をテーマにした楽曲で、人気TVアニメ「宇宙兄弟」のエンディングテーマに決定! 同じ夢を目指して登場キャラクター達が手と手を取り合い歩んでいく姿と歌詞が見事にリンク。自分の両手を繋ぐ「願い」指先で結ばれた「約束」、「手」が持つ様々な意思を、前作同様に昭和歌謡から影響を受けた和メロと、ラテンのスパイスを取り入れたピアノとエッジーなギターサウンドに乗せた、重厚なアップチューンに仕上がっている。会話の語尾を意味するc/w「かな」は、寂しさを共有する「幸せ」を描いたラブソング。近藤晃央の「唄」が堪能できる儚いバラードに仕上がった。2曲共にプロデュースは、いきものがかり、ポルノグラフィティなどを手掛ける江口亮。初回生産限定盤は、M-3に「テテ」のリミックスを収録。「宇宙兄弟」描き下ろしジャケット、描き下ろしクリアシート仕様。
